After completing my undergraduate degree early and then my master’s degree in healthcare administration in Northeastern Pennsylvania, I headed to the sunshine state of Florida to start my career. I wasn’t sure what that meant yet because I was not thrilled with the slow pace of healthcare administration. Well, I was in an elevator with my paper resume in hand, headed to an interview when a woman got in and asked if I could do Human Resources, and I told her I probably could figure it out. This was because I had hands-on experience in both retail and restaurant management, which involved managing employees. It turns out she was a recruiter and had a role for me at a small architectural engineering firm in the Orlando area of Florida. Let me tell you that those first two degrees did not prepare me for dealing with employees. However, they did prepare me for a boatload of compliance nightmares and critical thinking. I eventually returned to school again to get a master’s in human resources and a handful of HR-related certifications and licensures, too. That small firm grew organically and then through mergers and acquisitions. It grew across the nation and the world. I was fortunate to have an amazing set of leaders there that allowed me to grow. I now have over 25 years of experience in supervisor and manager training, HR education and operations, corporate culture, recruiting, downsizing, change management, and strategy - to name a few. My sometimes painful experience has been acquired at companies of different categories, sizes, and ownership types. This includes for-profits, non-profits, government agencies, and defense contractors. Now, I aim to guide you, and therefore your company, through periods of growth and change using uncomplicated training, direct and to-the-point advisory services, and easy-to-access HR tools and resources. My straightforward style means I do not sugar-coat things (respectfully, of course). I believe that people are a company’s greatest asset and should be treated as such. That means training and empowering managers, supervisors, and employees to be successful in their roles. I train administrators on HR compliance and managers on the rest: the people part, from hiring to termination. My vision is "To help leaders create successful companies that employees do not desperately want a vacation from." Why? Well, because I desire to be the change I want to see in this world. It is great to meet you. Ask me anything! 1. Interpersonal Communication Conflict Management Strategy 2. Phonetic Micro Expression reading for mastering verbal tell signs. 3.
